| Crossover for music and movies Don't know your AVR in particular, but usually there is a way to designate the front L & R speakers as large or small, which will set their high pass frequency. Then you can match with the proper low pass frequency for the LFE channel, I alw... | |
| Microzotl 2.0 as preamp question Good practice would be to always turn the amp on last and off first. | |
| Warm, rich sounding interconnects? Never heard the Cardas Micro-twin but the Cardas also Golden Reference fit your description. | |
| 2017 ‘Keeper’ speakers under - $25K Blindjim- it HAS been a long time, but I’ve learned some things along the way. I like tubes. A good tube system to my ears sounds like music, a good ss rig sounds like a good ss rig. So once that was settled, it means looking for tube-friendly spe... | |
| Record Cleaning Mystery If only on one side, I think you may be picking up dust or dirt somewhere during your cleaning process. If you clean side one first and then side 2 and the fuzz only appears when you plan side one, I think you may be "contaminating" the clean sid... | |
| 2017 ‘Keeper’ speakers under - $25K If I was going to drop that kind of coin, I would definitely listen to the latest from Horning and Classic Audio Reproductions, driven by tubes. | |
| What have I missed in the last 12 years? I'm thinking of resetting the whole system and going with low power tubes and high efficiency single drivers. Thinking that with my SPL limits, might give me what I'm looking for. Good idea, although I would not limit myself just to single d... | |
| What are the more subtle sounding tube preamps? Modwright 9 is quite neutral and punches above its weight. Great service from one of the good guys. | |
| Retract offer nickcaper- offers not accepted within 48 hours are automatically cancelled. So it's 2 days, not 30. | |

| Recommended Speaker List for Atma-Sphere OTL Amplifiers. At the risk of stating the obvious, they should have a high, relatively flat impedence curve for the most part, although as others noted, they are reported to mate well with Quads. Also Soundlabs and Magnapans, IIRC. I have used them successfull... | |
| Psvane 300-B Tubes ? ? ? As far as reliability goes, I have used the Shuguang Black Treasures in a VAC Ren 30/30 which pushes the output tubes pretty hard and have had no problems. I really cannot estimate hours reliably, but definitely more than 600 hours and while star... | |
| How do I remove the woofer from ads 300 speaker? Thx, all; I got the driver out, which I needed to do to send for repair/rebuild. Surrounds are fine so my guess is voice coil needs to be replaced. I’ll be checking in w Richard So next. | |
| How do I remove the woofer from ads 300 speaker? For those who don't know this speaker they are small, metal enclosures w 5 1/4" mid-woofers and a 1" (I think) done tweeter. A little bigger than an NHT Superzero. I have tried prying the metal frame of the woofer w a screwdriver and it's har... |
